Thoth Sunday? MidCity Sunday? Bacchus Sunday? We don’t care – we just love to run the St Charles route early on Sunday am. 2nd to last day of Run Cajun Run.
We met at Superior Seafood – for a very crowded route run.
Ran out the door to check on my parade gear at the neutral ground – spot was mostly intact just had some new neighbors on either side of my gear.
A light drizzle was in effect but the temp was warm!
Angie’s List was happy to see the same lady from last year guarding her spot in front of the restaurant. King Kong was psyched to get his first Trench Run.
We angered a bunch of route dwellers with our display of speed – lots of Boos.
We were joined by Almonaster a bit late – he missed the flurry of the evening texts that changed the start time from 7am to 630am. Worth noting that typically we start the trench run at 6 but this year we opted into a little late sleeping.
We ran down to Canal.
We ran back to Napoleon/St Charles.
We saw the trophy and pancake guys again.
Chiquita dropped out of the run to join 6 dudes on bikes pulling a pirate ship.
Willie dropped out to check on his parade spot.
A final sprint for the last two blocks made for some entertainment for the parade people.
Nice to get out and burn off some parade beers from Saturday or premeditated for Sunday.
Let’s hope that Thoth gets its route back next year!
